Fires igniting all around, Burning and destructive. And they’re in my heart, too, Burning through the outer layers, All the way to the core of my fear. Fear of losing this comfortable life, This reality where I sit calmly, routinely Eat in peace and barely check The news. Where the air quality isn’t A problem, and where all of this Goes away. I guess the core of the fear is this, isn’t it - Losing the routine, the comfortable, The mundane. Feeling scared for Loved ones, even though I know Nothing will happen, right? It’s too far away (getting closer), right?
